Dr. Gwenn's career as a columnist and journalist began with her quest to find more ways to get useful information to as many parents as possible. Since that time, Dr. Gwenn’s columns have appeared in multiple community newspapers and is currently syndicated in Massachusetts with GateHouse Media, Inc, formerly the Community Newspaper Company. Dr. Gwenn is a sought after pediatric expert and quoted often in parenting magazines. She is currently medical advisor to Parents and Kids and seen regularly on New England Cable News' Good Morning Live show. Dr. Gwenn is also a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics Council on Communication and Media .
Dr. Gwenn strives to write as if she were talking to a parent. As a parent herself, she knows how important it is to obtain information but also recognizes how precious little time parents have to find reliable information on the internet. Launched in January 2006, Pediatrics Now aims to fill that gap and provide a bridge between the parenting and pediatrics worlds. Pediatrics Now is quickly becoming one of the internet's most trusted sites for parents to turn to for child health and parenting information.
Dr. Gwenn is available for speaking engagements and parenting and child health content consultation.
